Chovenda na Roseira (Jobim)
This is one of my all time favorite tunes. It's sung by brazilian singer, Rosani Reis. It was played on an older Musser M55 and there's unfortunately pedal noise.
This is dedicated to Marie.
This was the video that I made for the vibe hang last week. Somehow I couldn't get it to convert properly in time for the hang. Tony reminded me to post it, so here it is.
Hopefully I'll get it right on the next hang.
This file is a little big, so wait for it to load a bit first.

I have an effects pedal that has a very basic looper on it, so I decided to get it out yesterday and see what happened. Insensatez is a tune I use a lot because it sounds cool as a fast samba or partito alto funk, but it sounds just as good as a slow ballad. This is the version I came up with Saturday morning, let me know what you think!
Joe Locke showed me a cool scale that Olivier Messiaen used to write with. I found out later that it's a MOLT (Modes of Limited Transposition), which is pretty interesting. A major scale transposes into 7 variations and a diminished scale 2 (if I understand this correctly).
At the end of our 2010 workshop at the University of Delaware, we will perform a final concert in this beautiful theatre.
This is an inexpensive hotel in Limerick and is 5 minutes walking distance from where we do our workshops. The website is: http://limerickhotels.jurysinns.com/
Did you ever watch a video or listen to music and it just seemed nice. Not flashy or anything just nice? I keep coming back to this video and just like it. This guy's not doing anything spectacular but I think it's simple and cool.
Isn't that the art of making music? To ALSO be able to play simply and capture a listener? I think of folk guys like John Prine and Steve Earl and others who just play simple music but it holds your attention!
Ok just thinking out loud here.
Part 3 of this lesson is not using time to help you outline harmony and create lines that are clear.
In the first half of the video is a Morello Drum solo. It's pretty smokin.
